In 1989, Living Colour was on fire. Their 1988 debut Vivid had reached #6 on the charts and achieved platinum certification. Their monster Top 20 hit "Cult Of Personality" was in heavy rotation at MTV and had garnered them the first of many Grammy awards. In December of that year, they came "home" to New York City's famed CBGB's, where they had honed their act just a few years beforehand as a fledgling band. This album captures the raw power, skill and fearlessness that busted through rocks' stereotypes and catapulted Living Colour to fame.
